Oliver 1550

[super99]

Last December I tore my 1550 apart, using lots of oil. I
had the head worked on,valve guides were shot and all
new valves. Had the crankshaft polished and new
bushings in the rods and new pins. Got it all back
together today and after turning the distributor just a bit
it fired right up and ran great. Hooked up the auxiliary
fuel cell and pulled it out and washed it off. I still have to
replace the quad ring in the steering and then can finish it
up. Happy camper tonight!!

Ill retorque the head after I run it a while.

Good job. All of you folks that give these older tractors a new lease on life are awesome. Best of luck.

nice looking tractor! And I like the extra step too!

 

[Bruce from Can.]

Good work. Nobody can say that you are sitting around idle in your retirement. You will have that tractor back good as new, and ready to sell to some lucky guy .

This one is a keeper. I wish it was a diesel but its my tractor ride tractor, it has a high speed transmission and is a ball to drive.

Neighbor has a 1550 diesel, wide front, diesel, turbo and high speed gears. It REALLY works well on the rides when he takes time off to go. The guy he bought it from a few years back says he should have kept that one.
